I'm confused now.
We return EOPNOTSUPP for a lot of ioctls when they are given an
unknown flag, for example
at btrfs_ioctl_scrub():

if (sa->flags & ~BTRFS_SCRUB_SUPPORTED_FLAGS) {
    ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
    goto out;
}

Or at btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_v2():

if (vol_args->flags & ~BTRFS_SUBVOL_CREATE_ARGS_MASK) {
   ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
   goto free_args;
}

We also do similar for fallocate, at btrfs_fallocate():

if (mode & ~(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE | FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE |
        FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE))
    return -EOPNOTSUPP;

I was under the expectation that EOPNOTSUPP is the correct thing to do
in this patch.
So what's different in this patch from those existing examples to
justify EINVAL instead?

Thanks.
